Let me just say... it wouldn't be the worst thing that's ever been made into a movie... I for one am not opposed. I remember playing the original Red Faction all the way back in high school, and it was sick.
I dunno what people got to complain about. As long as they put a shower scene in the movie like in Starship Troopers, I'm not going to have a problem with it!
While Battlestar Galactica may be my favorite show ever, the SyFy channel also brought us things like Fringe, among other monstrosities. I just don't trust them not to butcher this.
Personally I think it should have been a series in the first place, it's got a good story, but not so much for a game. The game its self was awesome to play though.
I'm not sure why you put the BSG reboot with those two movies, makes it sound like you think they're all horrible. While the movies may be meh, the BSG reboot was good.
Bloody syfy didn't bring fringe or firefly for that matter. Fox did. And both were/are great shows imo. Shame firefly got canceled at the first season, but that's just fox for you. They always throw away the great shows for some stupid reality tv crap.
Syfy though seems to become crap lately, and their new name only promotes that. Go back to sci fi.
Given that the SyFy channel is the worst thing that has ever happened to science fiction. I already know this will be garbage. They butchered MST3K and Sliders. Any other series I've seen that they produced has been unwatchable.
The only time I ever turn on SyFy is for Star Trek TNG reruns.
When Syfy (Sci-Fi) started out they were great, showing all the classic scifi movies and tv shows then suddenly after they remade Frank Herbert's Dune into a mini series (which actually was very good) they've done nothing but released shitastic movies and subpar programming.
Does anybody else hate the constant use of the word "reboot" since it was used to describe the new Star Trek movie?
Battlestar Galactica was not a reboot. It was a re-imagining.
I just hope they don't butcher the IP like what was done with the Doom movie. Not that I was expecting epic acting/plot from Doom, but it could have been much better than it was. Putting the demons down to a virus instead of coming from hell was a missed opportunity- could have done all sorts of cool demonic/supernatural stuff if they were from hell.
